Chapter 32
After that, these cattle and sheep are raised in case of emergency.
At this time, it was early spring, and the snow covered the ground.
"Eh, can this coal really be burned?" An aunt asked with a honeycomb coal, looking at the dense holes in the briquettes, and asked uncertainly.
Sanhei took the coal and introduced, "Of course you can, you see that the cooks who cook on the construction site have already started to use this honeycomb coal, and it doesn't smoke much, the point is that it's not expensive!" It can burn for a long time! Wuhei proudly introduced, he was not optimistic about this thing at first, thinking about making so many holes, can the coal still be burned? The fact is that it is not only easy to burn, but also burn-resistant!
"Then I'll get some for my aunt first! It snowed early this winter, and the winter couldn't go on without a little carbon at home, and we couldn't afford other expensive carbon, if this carbon was easy to use, it should be enough for our family to spend this winter! The eldest lady replied with a smile, winter is something that every people are worried about, and if they can't grow grain in winter, they will lose their economic resources, and they can only rely on the remaining money to survive the winter.
There are many people who can't live at home.
In ancient times, corpses would be strewn all over the field every winter, and Hehua was just trying to alleviate this death.
Sanhei didn't have time to find a shop that could sell coal, so he simply built a simple shed next to the construction site outside the city to sell honeycomb coal.
The first to buy must be the craftsmen who make honeycomb coal, because they make it themselves, of course, they know more about honeycomb coal than ordinary people, although they are also poor, but fortunately, the princess pays the wages every month, and gradually saves some money, and it is not a problem to buy some honeycomb coal.
After that, there were other workers on the construction site, and when they heard someone say that honeycomb coal was good, everyone bought some with curiosity, and it was made by Princess Hehua, and they still trusted the princess.
Therefore, the workers and craftsmen on their own construction sites share a large part of the sales of honeycomb coal.
More and more people come to buy honeycomb coal, and everyone who comes to buy it inevitably has to ask, is this honeycomb coal really as good as it is said? More and more people are coming to buy coal.
Outside the city, a carriage came slowly, and the outside of the carriage was decorated very low-key, just like an ordinary person's carriage.
"Why is the princess chanting all the way on the road?" Xiaohong asked puzzled.
Ying Yin Yan opened her beautiful eyes, fixed the action of tapping the wooden fish in her hand and said gently, "We have been praying for our mother in the temple for a year, although we are no longer in the temple, but we must always keep our sincerity, sincerity can work, right?" She spoke softly, but softly at the same time.
There was a faint smile on her face, but soon sadness replaced a smile on her face, "Alas, I don't know how my mother's illness has gotten after a year, whether it has gotten better." ”
She sighed, her face full of sorrow.
She had been cut off from the outside world since she entered the monastery, and she didn't know what had happened to her mother.
"The beauty will definitely get better, don't worry about it anymore, princess, if anything, Your Majesty will definitely send someone to send us a letter, and now we haven't received the letter, maybe it's a good thing?" Xiaohong patted Yingyinyan's back and comforted.
Zhao Mei's body is weak and sickly, and Yingyin Yan also has some inheritance from her mother's body, but she is better than her mother, but her complexion is always not very good, her eyebrows are very light, and the lip flaps of her lips are only very light pink.
So every day she needs to use fat powder to make herself look healthier and not to worry the people around her, especially her mother, who has not been up since she fell ill last year, and she voluntarily begged her father to let her go to the temple to pray for her mother, and this blessing is for a year.
Hearing Xiaohong's comfort, she relaxed her brows slightly and suppressed her sadness.
I happened to hear some bustle outside.
"Eh, I bought some of this coal yesterday, it's very good, I'll buy some today!" An old man came with a copper plate to buy honeycomb coal.
"Okay old man, wait a minute, I'll put the honeycomb coal in the basket for this customer first." Sanhei responded, there were actually other workers who helped sell here, but the business seemed to be on fire in an instant, and the busy workers couldn't turn around.
Through the phenomenon of human-to-human transmission, the news of their construction site selling honeycomb coal suddenly spread, and some people in Xianyang City, who are far away from here, set off from their homes to buy honeycomb coal early in the morning with backpacks.
"Everyone line up, everyone can buy it!" Sanhei shouted to the people behind him who wanted to cut in line.
With this guarantee of Sanhei, those who wanted to cut in line retracted their feet and quietly lined up at the back of the line.
Ying Yinyan lifted the curtain of the carriage, "Hey, why is it so lively over there?" ”
Ying Yin Yan asked with some curiosity, her voice was a little soft, but the person next to her could just hear it.
Xiaohong also poked her head out with a new look, and could only see that everyone who came had some black things on their backs, and she didn't know what it was.
"Xiaohong, you get out of the carriage and take a look." Yingyin said to Xiaohong.
Xiaohong got out of the carriage and walked towards the coal stall.
"Sir, may I ask what you sell here?" Xiaohong asked.
Sanhei raised his eyes and just wanted to introduce honeycomb coal, when the people who were queuing up to buy coal next to him answered for him.
"This girl is from out of town, isn't she? This is a newly made honeycomb coal, which is cheap and has no smoke yet. ”
"Yes, yes, the coal I used to use in my house was choking, and the house was full of smoke in winter, choking ......"
"I also heard that this coal is good, come and buy some and try it back, this winter without coal is too sad."
A few ordinary people talk about it one by one, mainly because they can't stay idle in line, and they like to chat with people, even if they don't know each other, they can chat for a few words.
Xiaohong went back to Yingyin Yan what she heard and told Yingyin that Yingyin Yan actually heard it when she was sitting in the carriage just now, "Then you said that it would be better to use these coals for your mother, they said that the smoke is small." Ying Yinyan thought about it, compared to before, her mother would cough when she used coal, but she couldn't use coal in winter, and she would cough from time to time.
"That beauty will definitely like it!" Xiaohong replied with a smile, she also thought she could buy some and use them back.
"Well, by the way, buy some for my father and other siblings too." Ying Yin Yan said softly.
In the textile factory here, a woman is working hard to weave clothes.
